Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's wedding plans are in jeopardy because French law requires them to live in the country for 40 days before their big day, it has been claimed.

The power couple reportedly only recently found out that one of them will have to move to France for a month and a half before they tie the knot.

And, according to Radar Online, their May 24 wedding date is now in question.

Uh oh.

A source told the site: “Kim and Kanye were unaware until recently that France required a residency requirement prior to the marriage. Kanye has an apartment in Paris, but he doesn’t live there full-time.”

The French Embassy in Washington D.C told Radar Online: "All marriages must be performed by a French civil authority before any religious ceremony takes place.

"The mayor can authorise the deputy mayor or a city councillor to perform the ceremony in the town in which one of the parties to be married has resided for at least 40 days preceding the marriage.

"These requirements cannot be waived."

They added that the main ceremony would also have to take place after a civil ceremony - so the pair will be having TWO big days.

It comes after rapper Kanye reportedly postponed the Australian leg of his Yeezus tour, which would have taken place ahead of the wedding.

He initially claimed he had pushed the tour back to concentrate on his new studio album.

But his fans on Twitter didn't seem to agree.

One wrote: “Kanye West postponed tour cuz he’s a control freak and needs to stay and oversee the minutia of the wedding,”
